We
have drilled nearly every size hole and type of material; utilizing
both column and knee type CNC drills along with fixed bed,
automatic loading and multi-spindle drilling units. For the
ultimate in efficiency, our column type gundrills are equipped with an
auxillary spindle suitable for milling operations as needed to produced
a machined surface prior to drilling or other available machining
operations. We can gundrill holes from less than .100″ up to
2.500″ in diameter either on center line, off center or on water
line locations. With our overhead cranes and table capacity, we
can easily accommodate parts weighing up to 40,000 pounds and with
advance notice, we can handle parts that weigh nearly 60,000 pounds.

As
inside diameters grow or workpieces get longer, gundrilling can be a
more time consuming and less precise solution. In these
cases, our other deep hole drilling methods are considered and
employed. Regardless, the engineers at Faxon Machining can advise
you on the best method for your application.
